Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

Mrs. Chris Geleynse

4K, K-8th Music, and 5-8th Band

Experience
​I have been teaching at RCS since 1986.  I was hired as kindergarten teacher, and after three years became the music teacher.  I added 5-8 band  five years later, and have been teaching all the band and music at RCS since then.  From 2007 to 2015, I taught 2nd grade in the mornings along with music in the afternoons.  Finally, in the  fall of 2015 I moved from 2nd grade to 4K.

Family
I married Ken Geleynse in 1981.  He is also a teacher in the middle school at RCS. God has blessed us with four children who are all married.  We are also the proud grandparents of twelve grandchildren.  Spending time with our family is not something we take for granted, as they all live outside of Wisconsin.
 
Interests
I enjoy playing piano, reading, and doing crossword and Sudoku puzzles.  Ken and I are both very involved on the worship team at our church.

Why I Teach 4K
​I believe that every student is a unique child of God.   It is my job to discover the needs and gifts of each student so I can better teach them to understand the wonder of God's creation and their place in it.  My prayer is that God uses me to plant the seed of wonder and faith in your child. ​

Why I Teach Music
​I am a firm believer that God demands us to praise Him with music.  Scripture often says "make music to the Lord."  My desire is that every student will develop a love for music, and will want to use his/her gift of music to give glory to God.

Mrs. Lynnae Franken

5K

Hello! My name is Lynnae Franken and I am the 5K teacher at Randolph Christian School. I graduated from Dordt University in the spring of 2020 with a degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood and Special Education. My husband Adam and I were married in July of 2020 and are living on an acreage by Markesan. I enjoy time with family and friends, water- skiing, baking, doing anything crafty, and just life on the farm. I feel the Lord has called me to RCS to use my passion I have to work with young kids, but also to share the light of Jesus. He loved us so much that He died for us, so I want to continue to spread that great joy and news with students for years to come as I help to “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

Mrs. Brooke Miner

Brooke Miner has come back to the classroom after homeschooling her children for the last 7 years. She attended Maranatha Baptist University and taught in a multi-grade classroom for 3 years after college.  While in college, she met her husband and they married in 2005. God blessed their home with two children- a daughter and a son, now school-aged (and attending RCS). They currently live in the Columbus area and are enjoying country living. Brooke's parents live with them creating a multi-generational household. Their family has several pets and farm animals, including cows! Brooke enjoys gardening, reading, and staying active in her church.

Miss Hope Cupery

3rd and 4th Grade

Hi! My name is Miss Hope and I am the third and fourth grade teacher here at Randolph Christian. Peanut butter cups, children’s books, and my golden doodle, Ellie, are just a few of my favorite things. In my free time I enjoy reading, thrifting, watching sports, and talking with just about anyone. I’ve lived in the Randolph area with my family my whole life and graduated from RCS in 2011. I am so excited to be back!

Throughout my life I have been passionate about two things: teaching and Jesus. I feel so privileged to have the opportunity to bring my two passions together as I teach my students. It is my goal that each of my students would not only be able to excel academically, but also emotionally, socially, and spiritually. I attended Maranatha Baptist University and attained dual certification in elementary education and cross-categorical special education to equip me to achieve these tasks. My classroom is an inclusive community where each student is treasured, challenged, and safe.

If you have any questions about me or my classroom, don’t be shy! I’m happy to answer any questions.
